Living Dead I Dolls Will Rise Again

Ah, the heady days of mid-late 2016, when every new idol whatever was ripe for exaggerated excitement, a world of possibilities. Look, somewhat loud stuff! Also idols! Nothing could be better!

We have learned better since then. Though there are always exceptions, and we are incredibly easy marks for whatever poorly shined bauble is dangled in front of our ever-shortening attention spans, it takes more than just showing up to take the majority of fans from acknowledgement to acceptance to love.

The account had been completely inactive for six months following the what turned out to be a hiatus, and ex-members had even moved on to other (incredibly interesting) projects. For all anybody knew, LDID was simply dead, no longer living. Dual Eye Records apparently had other plans, as these auditions and (nice) demo suggest not just a reboot, but a fairly aggressive one.

I’d do that! They had a year to learn a lot of lessons, so why not apply them?
